Uses of BOTOX® Cosmetic

BOTOX® is a purified protein that Dr. Schwartz administers to patients in a simple, nonsurgical cosmetic procedure. This is just one of several injectable treatments Dr. Schwartz provides for patients who want a rejuvenated, more youthful appearance. The purpose of the BOTOX® Cosmetic procedure is to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows. BOTOX® Cosmetic is most effective in people from ages 18-65 years old. During the BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment, Dr. Schwartz administers very low doses of BOTOX® Cosmetic in a few tiny injections directly into the muscles. The muscles that are targeted are the ones that cause stubborn lines or wrinkles between the brows.

How BOTOX® Cosmetic Works

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a procedure that enters the muscles directly to block the chemicals that cause facial muscles to contract. BOTOX® Cosmetic relaxes the muscles that cause frown lines.
